A German teenager who stormed his school with an axe, knives and Molotov cocktails, injuring nine students and a teacher has awoken from a coma.

Senior public prosecutor Gudrun Lehnberger said that the condition of the 18-year-old was still too critically ill to question him about Thursday’s attack.

Critical: The teen was shot by police

But Lehnberger said that if his health did not deteriorate again, the prosecutor’s office would serve a warrant for 10 counts of attempted murder later in the day.

The boy entered his school in Ansbach in Bavaria shortly after classes started, threw Molotov cocktails into a classroom and attacked students with an axe. Police shot him five times in the upper body during his arrest.
